Mac OS error code -36

I'm on MacOS Ventura 13.6. I'm encountering an error "The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “XXX.pptx” can’t be read or written when I tried to move the file to trash. However, I'm able to open the file in powerpoint.


Any suggestions?

You can create and edit a PPTX file on PowerPoint simply by selecting File>Open>New Slideshow. If you're a Mac user, you can simply double click your PPTX file to open it on Keynote.
